Chemical Reaction Changes Color Over and Over
DancingFountain writes "If you have taken a college chemistry class, you may have seen this fantastic demonstration. When two clear liquids are mixed, they immediately turn yellow, and then undulate back and forth between blue-black and yellow in a mesmerizing display. Wired Science explains that the reaction, which was developed by two high school science teachers, has been rigorously studied but not fully explained."

[Too bad the movie has the colors in the opposite order.]
I knew I had seen something like this in an article I read... THIRTY YEARS AGO...
